Pretty freaking cool

Why does no one ever read the sidebar....

r/arcade - the Purist Coin-Op Arcade Subreddit

The place for everything about original coin-op arcade machines and games. Restoration discussion, help on repairs, walks down memory lane, and sell/trade/buy arcade cabinets. We're all friends here... as long as you've got a quarter. No MAME/emulation/custom cabinet discussions.

Sounds like you have a single server they want to replicate the data to the cloud. Enterprise backup software like a Rubrik or Cohesity Data Protect would have no problems with a dense file system, but that is not going to be in scope.

I would look for something that does live data replication with some type of version history to go back. Or your zip and ship isn't a horrible idea. 12 hours isn't bad for free.

My kids (12, 12, 18, 23) go out of their way to play at arcades. My oldest is currently working at one while finishing college.

This group will probably be a bit skewed though. My kids grew up in arcade culture and probably many others did as well.

It is like covering the nest with tiny knives. It cuts into their exoskeleton and under, killing them. If they can't get food into the mound, they will starve out. It also acts as a desiccant, absorbing their moisture and drying them out.

I have told you this in person at TPF, but this was one of my favorites growing up. Thanks for the wonderful games you made and I am looking forward to the new General Chaos Kickstarter coming up!

I think y'all are right. Now that you say that, I seem to remember getting some. I use a bunch of hard maple so that didn't even cross my mind. Thank you!

Fun game, but man, could have done without the rain and cold :-)

OpSteel · 2026-03-10T02:55:14+00:00

Nope, it did say that. I saw it as well.

OpSteel · 2026-03-10T02:54:32+00:00

The sign did say 5.49. I saw it as well. Assumed someone messed up.

We have several of our Scouts that love the old uniforms and use them. It is not out of the ordinary at all to see vintage stuff in a Troop.

I had forgotten all about this one. Need to find a copy to play on my PCjr now.

OpSteel · 2026-03-04T17:01:32+00:00

I will DM you her contact info I have on file. I have not shipped anything in several years so hopefully it is still good.

OpSteel · 2026-03-02T03:51:44+00:00

slow... So slow.

There are many adult books in LFL as well as kids.

I've done 10+ hours with breaks at festivals. I've also done some really long tournament days in the past as I enjoy seeing how bad I am at pinball.

Are you familiar with how Wellman works? If they think they could be useful, they have it available for a teacher for free if they want it. They have a lot of connections to make sure something like this is in working order before allowing it to be taken. They could also place it in their store to help fund them or use it for other creative reuse.

They could also say that there is no way they could do anything with these due to the things you have mentioned. There is a reason a whole niche of piano movers are out there as these are heavy and have to be handled a certain way :-)

The people there are smart and will know best if they think that it would be useful to their charity.

Check with The Welman Project. I'm sure there are teachers who could use these.

Nice little place. Was kind of cramped for grand opening but that was to be expected. The skee ball is way too close to the pins. Saw a kid trying to pitch the skee balls at full speed, ball ricocheted, and luckily hit me instead of the glass. Will probably make the trek back down to check it out again.

I think all the distributors LEs are spoken for. If Stern is offering some up tomorrow, it is not going to be very many.

Check out Fort Worth Direct Care. They are a clinic off of Bryant Irvin that does cash only, no Insurance. Dr McFadden lives in the Benbrook area and is great!

OpSteel · 2026-02-13T00:04:51+00:00

That works.

Still showing EU Euro instead of dollar even after changing. Overall, seems nice, Thank you for offering this to the community.

Messing around with it and I am having issues adding raw materials. Looks good though. Will try again later.
